I know hp = hosepower. but what does the number like 1/2 indicate? thanks.!  |
You must place the chiller in a well ventilated area ... if you put it inside yr cabinet .. the chiller will run for the whole day and nothing will get chilled.
There is alot of rating standards around. Some of them rate by compressor power, some by cooling power, some anyhow rate. An artica 1/2HP will outperform some of the 1.5HP chillers around so yr best bet is to ask before you buy. The HP rating is not a good indication of performance if you are new to chillers.
